ER used to have a "Winter Series".
There's a reason ER doesn't have a winter series anymore......
Attendance!
The idea of a winter series always sounds like a good idea to a lot of folks when the temp is still above 40. But when the temps drop & the wind chill hits, not so many show-up at the event.
Even the youth of the sport seem to stay home on those days!

But I thought that when you were a kid, you used to autocross uphill in 3 feet of snow???Quote:

Nah - it was karting and in ETEX, we never had 3 feet of snow. If it was snowing, I was watching TV.Quote:

Sounds great to me!!! I think mineral wells is starting to fall apart just in general. Last time I was there, I saw mutlipul cars throwing up pieces of the road surface.Quote:

LOL no kidding that place hasn't had any maintenance done to it since the Army stopped using it for helicopters. You're talking 30+ years of no work being done to it.
Could we do one on Black Friday? :D THen I can race instead of going shopping with the in laws :D
